Update on the 1971 Topps set build.

A few more 1971 Topps for the set. Passed the 600 mark recently. All high and semi high left. Happy with the progress.

More 1970 Topps .50 cent each good. Card shows

Oh no!!! Picked up some 1970 Topps today at the card show for .50 each. Still working on the 1971 set.

This is how I celebrate Opening Day. Every year I send Cardinals Flowers to my wife’s at her school. I only send flowers on Opening Day. Valentine’s Day is a fake holiday. 😂😂😂 Opening day is Christmas for Baseball fans.

Happy Opening Day. 1971 Topps high number mail day. Last page that didn’t have a card. Going to my local card shop to pick up the rest of the 400’s I need tonight to celebrate the day.

Old school trade at the local card shop tonight. I had 2 extra high numbers 700’s. We traded straight up. Happy to add to more high numbers to the 1971 Topps set the old way. #CardSKy

1971 Topps Bob Reed in the mail today. I don’t remember buying a 700 number card but I guess I did. #CardSky

You cannot tell the story of America by erasing the story of Jackie Robinson

Today’s mail for the 1971 Topps set. I replaced the Maz card. Mr. Palmer with the cool shades was a must purchase. Over 500 cards for the set now. #CardSky

Picked up some Fleer packs this weekend. 202 packs for $40. I’m going to give these away at our Opening Day along with new Topps. Cooper had a blast at the show this weekend. Kids love to open the cards we’ve given them the last couple of years. I’m the card guy for our league. #Cardsky

Did pretty good at the card show this weekend. Semi high number 1971 Topps for $20. Painted on hat semi high number in the mail today. #CardSky

Local card shop today helped with the 1971 Topps build. 19 card for $20. Nice shape for the 1971 cards. #CardSky

Willie Stargell in the mail today. Going to a show this weekend and my local card shop. I’m going to try and finish off the 1-300 cards. Really loving this 1971 set. #Card Sky

Pete Rose came in the mail today and 18 cards from the local card shop for the 1971 Topps set. #CardSky

1971 Topps set update today. Won a 32 card lot for $21. 300’s and higher numbers. Needed 16 of the cards and switched out some of the rough ones from the set with cards from this lot. #CardSky

Added five 1971 Topps today from the local card shop for $5. Trying to finish off the low numbers first. #Cardsky

Cool spring training return today. Cooper sent this card in late February. Still waiting on a Cardinal return. They have been terrible the last couple of years. He was excited to receive a 2025 Rookie back today. #Cardsky

Dock Ellis came in the mail today for the 1971 Topps set. Trying to finish off 1-100 this month. #CardSky

It was a Twins day for the 1971 Topps set today. 424/752 only 328 to finish the set. 🤣🤣 #CardSky

First card purchased for the 1971 Topps set. $17 for this incredible action shot. #CardSky

You got to love the USPS. I bought a 1971 lot 131 cards. Shipped from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania via San Francisco. Was supposed to arrive today. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 How??????

1971 Topps partial set update. We came to an agreement on a partial refund. $42 off the set. My local dealer said the set was a great deal. Won another 131 card lot last night for $25. The journey now begins on the 1971 set. Had the Clemente since I was a kid. #CardSky

Card show today. Spent $15 on this 1986 Rack pack. Yes we opened it at lunch. #CardSky

What would you do in this situation. I recently won a partial 1971 set. The listing stated 461/752 no dupes. There was a list in the photos at the end of the cards. Today I checked the list. The #’s don’t add up. Short about 93 cards from listing. Already shipped. Seller said I could return.

Made my 1st purchase for my 1971 Topps partial set project. Set should be here next week. Love this action shot at the plate. #CardSky

2025 Topps has arrived. Always fun to open the new Topps. We are set builders and with less packs and less cards in the hobby box it is tough. We are missing 132 cards. Two years ago you could get a box and maybe miss 40 cards. Still love collecting. Prices and packs need to change. #Cardsky

Well I did something last night. I won a 1971 Topps partial set. 461 cards no duplicates Vg Vg+. Needed something to work on for the next couple years. #CardSky

Not a fan of slabs but I couldn’t pass up a nice 1971 Topps for $5 today at the local card show. Card is not for the 1971 Topps set I’m not working on 🤣🤣 I will set this card free. #CardSky

Added the great Mickey Vernon to the collection this week. $25 at Yastrzemski in Cooperstown. Mickey has amazing numbers for his time period. Added the 52 Topps to go with his signed baseball. #CardSky

Cooper added Dave Parker to his plaque while we are at the Hall on Monday and Tuesday. No school teacher training equals boys trip to Cooperstown.

Found this at a local antique shop. Very unique original box. Crazy times back in the day.

www.reddit.com/r/baseball/c... This is what it’s all about.

We bought 4 packs of 1983 Donruss at the card show this weekend for $10. We opened all the packs and the last pack I opened had a Sandberg rookie 2nd card in the pack. Cooper finished going through the pack and found another Sandberg in the same pack. So cool! #CardSky

I guess I’m collecting 1971 Topps now. All these 1971’s for $12 today. #Cardsky

RIP Mr. Baseball. I really wanted the Brewers to make it to the World Series and win it last year. Bob signed this card TTM care of the Brewers a number of years ago. This is a sad day for all of Baseball.

I hope Billy gets the call next week. #CardSky

Found some cool Roberto Clemente modern cards tonight in the collection. #CardSky

Biily Martin in a Red’s uniform??? #CardSky

Trip to the library with Cooper and I found Phil Coffin’s “When Baseball was still Topps” #CardSky

2025 Topps series one design out today. Not too bad. Always fun to see the new years cards. #CardSky

Changing up the cards on my autographed baseball holders. Nice to change things up a bit in the collection. You don’t always have to spend money to enjoy this hobby. Enjoy what you have. #CardSky

Found a few 1981 O- Pee-Chee in the box from the card show. Better quality cardboard from Canada. #CsrdSky

Bud and Mike by the pound 😂😂😂

Card show at the Mall yesterday. Box was $10 full of 1981 1980 and late 1970’s Topps. Did I need this box no but for $10 hard to pass. The other 2 photos were separate purchases. #CardSky

Stan Musial has officially moved over one space. 2025 Topps place card is in place. Now we wait patiently for the 2025 Topps Cardinals card from series 1. Always fun getting ready for another season of collecting with Cooper. #Cardsky #Stlcards 1951-2071

Happy New Year’s Eve The 1972 Topps set is now complete. Rod Carew finishes off the set tonight. This really was fun to build with help from LCS shows and Blue sky card community. #CardSky
